PAD KRAPOW GAI (THAI BASIL CHICKEN)



Pad Krapow Gai (Thai Basil Chicken) image

As dynamic as it is speedy, this ground chicken and green bean recipe from "Night + Market" (Clarkson Potter, 2017) by Kris Yenbamroong and Garrett Snyder, delivers a wallop of flavor with punchy ingredients that stir-fry in just 15 minutes. While this popular Thai street food can be whipped up using a range of proteins, Mr. Yenbamroong refers to his riff as "low-rent" because it's prepared with ground chicken rather than pricier slices of meat. It's piled with basil; Thai basil or holy basil provide more assertive licorice notes, but sweet basil adds herbal bursts of brightness. Spiked with Thai seasoning (see Tip), the chicken mixture is salty on its own, but it's inextricably linked with rice, and imparts the right amount of salinity when dispersed.

Time 15m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 pound ground chicken (preferably dark meat)
2 teaspoons minced garlic (from 2 cloves)
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon minced fresh bird's-eye chile or other fresh chile (from 1 chile)
8 ounces green beans, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 1 1/2 cups)
3 tablespoons oyster sauce
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 tablespoon Thai seasoning sauce (such as Golden Mountain; see Tip)
1 cup loosely packed basil leaves (preferably Thai basil or holy basil)
Ground white pepper, to taste
Steamed jasmine rice, for serving
4 crispy fried eggs (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat a wok or large nonstick skillet over medium-high, then swirl in the oil. Once the oil is shimmering, add the ground chicken and cook, actively breaking the chicken up into small pieces, until it is mostly cooked, about 6 minutes.
  • Stir in the garlic, sugar and chile until evenly distributed and fragrant, about 2 minutes, then add the green beans, oyster sauce, fish sauce and Thai seasoning, and cook, stirring constantly, until the chicken is fully cooked, the green beans are crisp-tender and the krapow is glossy, about 2 minutes.
  • Remove from heat, add the basil and a dash of white pepper and toss to combine. If the sauce seems to cling too tightly to the mixture, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water to make it loose and glossy.
  • Serve over rice, and top with a crispy fried egg, if desired. Serve with additional Thai seasoning to sprinkle on top, according to taste.

SPICY THAI BASIL CHICKEN (PAD KRAPOW GAI)



Spicy Thai Basil Chicken (Pad Krapow Gai) image

My version of this classic Thai dish has spectacular taste even with regular basil instead of Thai or holy basil. The sauce actually acts like a glaze as the chicken mixture cooks over high heat. The recipe works best if you chop or grind your own chicken and have all ingredients prepped before you start cooking.

Time 25m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 13

⅓ cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce, or as needed
2 teaspoons fish sauce
1 teaspoon white sugar
1 teaspoon brown sugar
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken thighs, coarsely chopped
¼ cup sliced shallots
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons minced Thai chilies, Serrano, or other hot pepper
1 cup very thinly sliced fresh basil leaves
2 cups hot cooked rice

Steps:

  • Whisk chicken broth, oyster sauce, soy sauce, fish sauce, white sugar, and brown sugar together in a bowl until well blended.
  • Heat large skillet over high heat. Drizzle in oil. Add chicken and stir fry until it loses its raw color, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in shallots, garlic, and sliced chilies. Continue cooking on high heat until some of the juices start to caramelize in the bottom of the pan, about 2 or 3 more minutes. Add about a tablespoon of the sauce mixture to the skillet; cook and stir until sauce begins to caramelize, about 1 minute.
  • Pour in the rest of the sauce. Cook and stir until sauce has deglazed the bottom of the pan. Continue to cook until sauce glazes onto the meat, 1 or 2 more minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Stir in basil. Cook and stir until basil is wilted, about 20 seconds. Serve with rice.

Provided by Marian Burros

Categories     dinner, easy, main course

Time 40m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 cup long-grain rice
1 jalapeño
1 hot red pepper
4 large cloves garlic
4 shallots
1/2 teaspoon canned green peppercorns
2 teaspoons canola oil
12 ounces skinless, boneless chicken breast
2 tablespoons nam pla fish sauce
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 cup packed fresh basil leaves, plus a few basil leaves for garnish

Steps:

  • Combine rice and 1 1/2 cups water in heavy-bottom pot, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer, and cook the rice, covered, for 17 minutes.

  • Finely chop the chicken breast in the food processor. Return pan to heat, and sauté the chicken, breaking it into tiny pieces while cooking.
  • Add the fish sauce and sugar, and stir well. Set aside.
  • Wash and dry the basil, reserving a few leaves for garnish. Return pan to heat, and stir the basil into the chicken mixture. Serve over rice, garnished with the remaining basil.
